We stayed at this hotel for two weeks, in January 2016. At that time, this place was a very shabby 3✴ hotel. Now the hotel has received another star. The photo has clearly improved. From what I remember:
- two separate taps x/g of water.
- GB standard sockets.
- worn paths in the hallway.
- monotonous breakfasts.
- an interesting pub in the courtyard.
The hotel is good, we have been to it many times. But it began to deteriorate, so, for example, before it was possible to have a delicious and inexpensive dinner at the hotel (about 21 pounds for three, buffet), now it's not, all for money and a lot. The breakfasts have become very tasteless. In the room, it was always austere, but they put flat-screen TVs. Linen, towels are super, they have a hotel chain, they keep a brand. One of the huge advantages is the location. Right by the Russell Square subway. This is the Piccadilly line, so you go straight from Heathrow. There are many shops nearby, you can buy everything for dinner or just delicious. Getting to any place is no problem. That's what's endearing. Otherwise, it's a big hive, a lot of people. If the windows overlook Bedford Way, it will be problematic to sleep. It's very noisy.
